    you can have other disorders besides addiction. discuss with your primary care provider or whoever you have to see.

    Methadone is not the answer. Few people completely rid themselves of methadone once they’re hooked on it. I agree with the previous answer: it’s a substitute for the addiction you had before. So you’re really not that clean and sober. BUT congratulations on taking the first step towards recovery.
